2012 Special Olympics Fund Grows; There's Still Time to Give

[1]Special Olympics Coaches and CampersFr. Joseph Purpura, Chair of the Department of Youth Ministry, reports that through the diligent efforts of SOYO members, nearly $33,000.00 has been collected since October for the Special Olympics Sports Camp at Antiochian Village. Every summer, hundreds of Special Olympic campers and SOYO counselors convene for a unique week of activity and growth.

Fr. Joseph notes, "We are very grateful to the many parishes that have contributed to the NAC SOYO / PASO Special Olympics. Browse the list of contributions here[2]. If your parish is missing from this first list and is on the second list, please ask your parish treasurer to send in a check for the money they collected on the third Sunday of October for Special Olympics.

Additionally, SOYO teens are also encouraging individuals to donate as well.
